Former Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Oscar Lopez Rivera To Be Honored in Boston

COBO (ComitéOrganizadorBienvenidoOscar) invites you to join us in welcoming and honoring our hero and freedom fighter Oscar López Rivera. He is a Former Puerto Rican political prisoner released last May after serving 36 years in prison.

"We are honored by the visit of our hero, and celebrate his presence as a symbol of the Puerto Rican resistance both on the island and in the diaspora. Oscar is an example of the maximum sacrifice for our homeland" stated a COBO member. "He was imprisoned for fighting for the freedom of his country, because colonialism is a crime against humanity as recognized by international law,” as another member expressed. Please join us in the celebration of Oscar as he shares his journey as a freedom fighter and political prisoner. He will also discuss the current disaster from Maria and devastation from unsna colonialism.
